BLACK MARK

JUST CHAMPION

The midfielder has also created a storm of controversy after headbutting Cologne’s Salih Ozcan.

Unbelievably, the midfielder escaped any punishment after ramming his head into the chest of his opponent – despite the referee being right next to him.

Goretzka told Sky Sport: “The referee is right next to it. If he had seen assassination, he would have pulled me aside.

“I just want to get up impulsively. I admit that it looks unfortunate. But it was certainly not intentional, I did not want to injure him. My name is not Zinedine Zidane. It is unnecessary to discuss it.”
